Dr. Prandi, I have the unfortunately pleasure of having to contact you again in regards to your website of “ROMA SPARITA” of improperly copying photographs from my site in WORDPRESS, and then posting them on your site of “ROMA SPARITA” see: Roma, “Il Colosseo 1888,” in: ROMA SPARITA & ROMA SPARITA | FACEBOOK (07|02|2015).

Rather than asking you to properly add the correct ‘Fonte | Source’ for the photograph of the ‘Il Colosseo 1888,’ [= The National Baseball Hall of Fame | THE NEW YORK TIMES (11 March 2014)]; Yet because I know from my past awful experience of having to deal with you, Dr. Prandi and the website “ROMA SPARITA”, I know your too unprofessional and too incompetent to properly resolve the problem.

You, Dr. Prandi, you’re poor work on, as well as lack of management and effective administration skills as noted on the website “Roma Sparita,” is a reflection of you being a very unprofessional, incompetent & poorly trained Italian archaeologist. Who at the La Sapienza allowed you to progress as an Italian archaeologist? What is worse, Dr. Prandi, is seeing your fat stupid ass propped up against the tomb of Italian architect | Archaeologist Prof. Giacomo Boni on the Palatine Hill of Rome in 2011; this is just revolting.

And finally, Dott.ssa Prandi, had you simply followed the professional Italian standard practices of properly citing the correct and original “Fonte | Sources” of your work on “ROMA SPARITA & ROMA SPARITA FACEBOOK”, we would not be having this conversation now, would we?

— “Good evening Conde, With source of a photograph, we mean those who own the negatives and took the original shot and not the person who digitalized / copied and posted it on its website . As for printed images, we cite the book of origin and not the person who scanned / digitalized / copied and posted it on its website .”

“…But Comm. [Giacomo] Boni’s idea of forming in the new museum [of the Roman Forum] a reference library and a collection of photographs of Roman monuments from all parts of the Roman world is a good one. Such a collection will be of very considerable use to students, if can combine completeness with simplicity of arrangement. There will, of course, be plans and photographs of the Forum itself, and of drawings and views, from the fifteenth century onwards, relating to it, many of which are of greatest value for the study of the subject. Comm. Boni’s appeal to those who are interested in it to contribute any books, publications or photographs that have any bearing upon it, and it is to be hoped that further help will be forthcoming towards the formation of the collection.”
